    Length of the shortest side is 40 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Let the length of the shortest side of the triangle be x. Then the length of the other sides are 2x and x + 14 and perimeter = 174 feet

    Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of its sides

    ⇒ 174 = x + 2x + x + 14

    ⇒ 160 = 4x

    ⇒ x = 40 feet
